Ndumu River Lodge

This is one of the few destinations where a visitor can see the Big 5 at a game reserve and within a short half hour's drive be able to watch dolphins and whales. There is a variety of excellent accommodation to suit every pocket and a holiday to the Elephant Coast will be enjoyed by everyone from adventure lovers to those who just want to escape to the bush and commune with nature. Dense evergreen forests of towering fig trees stand in a lush undergrowth of ferns and wild orchids hanging from the trees. Palm savannah's with thousands of wild date and lala palms dot the white sand of the undulating landscape. Swamp forests with large raffia's and tangled masses of greenery that are home to myriads of exquisite birds and behind them mountainous sand dunes that appear to shift with the sighing of gentle winds. Ndumu River Lodge is located in a diverse eco system that traces from the Lebombo Mountains neighbouring Swaziland to the Laquit Sand Forests of the Mozambique boundary. Forming part of the north western route of the elephant coast, Ndumu River Lodge is only 500km from Johannesburg and 450km from Durban. Guests are able to fly directly to Richards Bay and journey northwards on the N2 to Ndumu River Lodge. The park also supports the Lion, Buffalo, Leopard, Rhino, Giraffe along with the Suni deer which are found exclusively in the Laquati Sand Forest.
